Justification and Assessment
Next
  • Rationale*
    This is only requesting a change to the Early Executive Track. The MBA program requirements are not impacted by this request in any way only the Early Executive Track. Please see the curriculum section to verify the MBA requirements for 30 credit hours and to see the previously approved Early Executive Track information. The attached files show the previously approved Early Executive track and the requested modified Early Executive track. The Early Executive Track will consist of one 3 hour credit course MNGT 6675 course, and instead of the Sustainability Leadership course, the requirement will be professional and leadership events in Fall and Spring. The students will complete the requirements for in Fall and Spring semesters, and their events will be tracked and discussed during our required meetings. We will modify MGNT 6675 title’s to Work Practicum instead of International Work Practicum. This is needed because we will begin alternating with Munster, Germany on the travel in the next few years. We will be working in the US some years instead of Internationally every year. We are also going to include the possibility for the students to intern for a month in India through John Upson’s India contact. We will also allow the students to complete internships through the course in the summertime. The goal of the course is for the students to gain real work experience somewhere.

    All major programs must include an assessment plan.
